Chapter 6: lightning wallets

I tried a lot of lightning wallets and found out it is usefull but not perfect. The wallets I tried and tested:

Breez

Easy on the eyes. I used an old LN link to send my BTC to and that got me scared. Support told me to wait for a popup. The popup came and managed to retreive the funds. It is a nice wallet if you plan on selling due to the vendor option. I did have a lot of errors when sending sats from this wallet to another wallet (no route error). Also I got a recurring notification I could not get rid of. So I ditched this one.

Zeus

Horrible interface deleted after install

Phoenix

Very nice non-custodial wallet with a lot of stuff I do not yet understand. Opening up and expanding channel space was fun to try out. I use this now for securing sats that I earn in the ZBD app.

Aqua

My favorite one. I trust this wallet the most somehow to send my DCA and love the fact I can view my funds in the blockstream app and convert it to BTC. I use this app to onboard others. But i dont like the higher fees and the fact the amounts cannot be shown in Sats. They told me this is coming in a next update.

Strike

Had to install in order to DCA from my bank account. I love that I can buy sats this way via a normal bank wire when I feel like it. Small fee applies and none when you automatically DCA (I dont). The sats I directly transfer to aqua to have it into my own custody. This wallet to me is more like a gateway.

Speed wallet

Nice for earning sats and quick small transactions

Bottom line: I really like the wallets that are non-custodial with speed wallet as an exeption for earning sats and quick/cheap transacting. Hope this info gives you some guidance. Try it out!
